Abstract: A system for controlling luminance of an LED (Light Emitting Diode) lamp includes an MCU (3), an LED circuit (4), an LED lamp (5), and a display (6). The MCU controls the LED circuit to adjust a luminance value of the LED lamp. The MCU includes: a CPU (31) for monitoring a status of the associated display, generating a corresponding PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) pulse when the system operates in different working phases, and transmitting the corresponding PWM pulse to the LED circuit via a PWM pin (32); a timer (33) for recording a duration of a user operating a control button (61); and a memory (34) for storing control programs. The LED circuit sets a luminance value of the LED lamp according to the PWM pulses. A related method is also provided.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, systems and methods may be employed for receiving a power consumption signal. An on-state of a light-emitting diode may be defined. A duty cycle of the light-emitting diode may be determined based at least in part on the power consumption signal. The duty cycle may reduce a power consumed by the light-emitting diode. The determination of the duty cycle may, for example, include varying at least one of an on time or an off time, for the on-state, of the light-emitting diode.

Abstract: A dual LED and incandescent security lighting system uses a hybrid approach to LED illumination. It combines an ambient LED illuminator with a standard incandescent lamp on a motion control sensor. The LED illuminator will activate with the onset of darkness (daylight control) and typically remain on during the course of the night (“always on”). The LED illumination, typically amber, is sufficient to provide low to moderate level lighting coverage to the wall and ground area adjacent to and under the fixture. The incandescent lamp is integrated with a motion control circuit and sensor. When movement in the field of view is detected (after darkness), the incandescent lamp is switched on, providing an increased level of illumination to the area. Instead of an “always on” LED illuminator, the LEDs may also be switched off when the incandescent lamp is switched on.

Abstract: A flash monitor alarm system is provided for detection of emergency vehicle flashers or for detection of flashes in photography. For emergency flasher detection the unit is positioned in a vehicle within a direct line of sight of potential emergency flashers. When emergency flashers are detected, an alarm is activated to warn the vehicle's occupants. For a photographic monitor alarm system, a detector is inductively coupled to a flash tube assembly's flash tube or tube power cable for activating a pulsating flash monitor indicator perceptible to the photographer when the flash tube has properly fired. The flash monitor alarm system includes flash monitor electronics and a power source, both of which are built into a compact housing.

Abstract: To monitor current flowing through various load lines, typically to the supply lines for the lighting system of the vehicle (headlights, brake lights, position lights) each line has a ferrite core with approximately rectangular hysteresis characteristic threaded thereon, through which additionally a test signal wire and a read signal wire are threaded. The test signal wire is connected to an ac source, the read signal wire to an indicator lamp through an amplifier so that, when current flows through the supply line, the core will saturate and no ac will be transferred from the test signal wire to the read signal wire; upon interruption of current flow, for example due to burnout of a lamp, current will flow through the test indicator, typically a lamp, which will light indicating malfunction.

Abstract: An I2C and Manchester multiple serial interface LED driver programmer has a programmer that changes the operation parameters in the EEPROM of the LED driver via a computer graphic user interface. The LED driver operation is thus programmed according to the parameters stored in the EEPROM. The multiple interfaces are selectable as USB-to-I2C, RS232-to-I2C, USB-to-TxD/RxD, RS232-to-TxD/RxD and 3rd via a pass through USB-to-USB port for expanded LED programming interface such as Near Field Communication. The I2C and Manchester multiple serial interface LED driver has multiple output interface with USB-to-I2C, RS232-to-I2C, USB-to-TxD/RxD, RS232-to-TxD/RxD and third pass through USB-to-USB port for Near Field Communication interface.

Abstract: A wireless lighting control system includes a remote server system connected to a wide area network and having software for configuring, monitoring, and controlling lighting fixtures at an installation site. The site includes wireless devices in communication with a gateway via a local wireless network and at least some of the wireless devices are configured to control lighting fixtures, including a configurable user control device, such as a wall dimmer switch, having user interface elements configurable to activate specific lighting effects, such as power, dimming, and scene control. A user computer device is connected to the wide area network and has a graphical user interface enabling virtually mapping of user interface elements to lighting effects. Configuration can advantageously be done without physical access to either the user control device or to the lighting controllers, fixtures, or other devices at the installation site.
